That three questions thing that's making the rounds

No, no one tagged me--at least, not that I know of (am a bit behind on my Bloglines reading)--but enough folks just said "do it if you want to" that I feel tagged enough.

1) What was the first comic you remember reading?

Fantastic Four 132. I know I read comics before that, but that was the first one to make a strong impression, and I'm not sure why because it's really a soap opera of a storyline--it's the one where Johnny Storm's girlfriend breaks it off with him in order to take up with Quicksilver (yeah, that was a bright idea). I think it may have stuck in my mind because, most of the time, comics held to the status quo as far as relationships went (Superman had the same girlfriend for 70 years, after all), and here that didn't happen. And I was irritated that it meant she wouldn't be coming back to the book, and I always liked her power set, though she was certainly particularly underused even for a Stan Lee woman.

2) What was the first comic that made you realize that you might be in this for the long haul?

I don't think there was a single comic that did that for me--probably more a case of me looking over at the piles and piles of comics in my possession and coming to that certain realization.

3) If you had to make a snap decision to take one comic or one comic run to a desert island, what would it be? Don't think too hard!

Oh, that's a hard one. My first thought is the current Captain America run, because it's a good story and fairly re-readable. However, it's also a relatively short run compared to some, so I think I'd probably want to go with something more lengthy, just as a matter of practicality.

Maybe the 70s-early 80s Legion of Superheroes books, starting with the Cockrum era! Excellent fun and enough of it to keep me occupied for a good long time.

So am I weird, or are there other folks who see this meme and start thinking of the best ways to keep those comics from disintegrating in the doubtlessly-humid climate of that desert island.

(And before anyone says that a desert island wouldn't be humid because it's a desert island, I'm reasonably sure that "desert" in that context refers to the island being "deserted." :))
